Welcome back to Thursday 3! Where we take 3 YouTube videos and explain how they are related to the U.S. Census. Tina Fey's heart of gold got me thinking about other movies that could easily have been made better if they were about census workers. Heck, I've never seen two of them, so they could very well actually be about census workers. So let's just assume that, OK? Up first in the census cinema multiplex:
Wicker Man! Staring Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage as a census taker who is sent to a small town and slowly uncovers the terrible secret they are hiding. Absolutely riveting. Now that your pulse is racing, get ready for even MORE adrenaline with...
Gymkata!!! That's right....Gymkata!!!! And one more time for good measure...Gymkata!!!! Kurt Thomas is on "a secret mission for the United States government." The mission: you guessed it-counting the number of people in the U.S.A. Unfortunately, there is a mountain fortress where the people don't want to be counted. This brave census taker is chased through the streets until he finds the most randomly placed pummel horse ever, where the angry mob politely lines up to let him kick their heads one at a time. And if you're in the mood for something a little lighter, maybe you should see...
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!!! Okay, I realize this is not a movie, per se. If you have not been treated yet to the hilarious ingenius web series, treat yourself tonight. This re-imagining of Dr. Horrible as an awesome Zelda-like Nintendo game could only be better if Penny were actually a census taker. I hope you've enjoyed this week's Thursday Three!

Do they have a copy of "Gymkata" available in Yurten? I think I might make the drive just for that.
ReplyDeleteIf they did, it is probably only available in VHS. I will only see Gymkata if I can watch it in it's Widescreen glory.
ReplyDeleteBut true story: one of my older brothers informed me that he saw Gymkata in the THEATER while he was in high school.
